There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism. – Bruce Springsteen
I can sing very comfortably from my vantage point because a lot of the music was about a loss of innocence, theres innocence contained in you but theres also innocence in the process of being lost. – Bruce Springsteen
Plus, you know, when I was young, there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music – look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing, and I always also believed that it released the audience. – Bruce Springsteen
But then I go through long periods where I dont listen to things, usually when Im working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find. – Bruce Springsteen
